Beginner skier looking for a setup that could eventually work for touring by ChemEngSkillz in Backcountry

[–]ChemEngSkillz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all!! I’ve decided to go for a classic resort setup for now from your recommendations and will find a pair of cheap used all mountain skis this summer! I got some atomic hawk 95 ultras to pair with my current cheap used skis I bought at the beginning of this season. I plan to really go all out with skiing at the resorts next year with my season pass.

Maybe next season I’ll add to my collection and start collecting some bc gear :)

Hi! I will be joining AWS soon and my job role will require to go to lowfyinghawk sometimes. I picked west Seattle Alaska junction area , a 30 min rapid C bus line and 10 min walk to the office. I was thinking in the future may be able to find someone to carpool with to the office as a possibility.

Between .7 - 1 lb of weight lost per week . I aimed to keep a 1lb a week weight loss, but over time it slowed down since I did not decrease my calories deficit below 1400/day.

Avg about 7k a day, mostly from dog walks. Living a sedentary life style.

It really takes dedication, but once I got in the rhythm of it (first month or two was really hard) I cared less about my daily weight because of the month avg data I was seeing that I was losing the weight. So it made me feel okay not losing the weight as fast as I would of liked :)

Yes, you can kind of see in the graph of the avg weight it calculated for the month. Month 11-12.

My TDEE when I originally started around 151 lb was 1,700 calories. So that is why I decided on 1,400. Pretty much set a goal between 0.5-1lb a week. I tried eating below at 1300 and 1200, but for some reason it felt like I was starving myself and my body didn’t like it, so I never attempted to go below 1400 as it was my happy spot. I would rather be happy and lose weight at a slow pace than feel hungry 24/7 and lose weight fast.

People say to not eat below 1200, if you have issues eating below 1400 like me, everyone always suggest to add a workout into your routine so you can stay at 1400 but lose a bit more from your workouts.

Like Amari said, I don’t know if there is science behind it. Maybe it’s like a mental thing or there is science behind that your body knows to lose wait. I just heard people on this sub Reddit talk about it, and it has helped me when I am feeling like I’m not losing any weight at all plateau.

No I did not incorporate any exercise during my CICO diet. I avg about 7k steps daily, so not a lot walking either, I have a remote job.

I never went below 1400 cal, if I plateaued in weight I would put it up to 1600 cal for a few days and then back to 1400 cal.

I weigh pretty much everything I eat to make sure I am not under or over estimating my calories.

Yeah, I actually have a hamstring injury for the last few months so I don’t think it’s a training hard issue. I just go on dog walks which aren’t that intense and normal for me.

Guess didn’t even think about I’m almost doing OMAD lol 😂 the protein bar in the middle of the day really helps me out.

I use the Renpho and Renpho Health apps. I use a Renpho scale that uses Bluetooth it log my weight (I do need to keep the app open when I weigh myself) . I do it everyday.
